Hmm... didn't realize Microsoft had gone to ISO image files, but it still sounds as if the download was corrupted in some manner. You might just have to sign back on and download it again. If on a broadband connection, then it shouldn't be too long a download, and if on a dial-up, then make sure to disable download managers as they can sometimes be the cause of corrupted images.Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill

Being from an ISO shouldn't make a different. As long as you burnt the CD as an image, and not extracted the files out manually and burnt them, then the CD should be bootable. In case you aren't sure what that means, you can turn your computer on and set it to load from the CD first, instead of the HDD. Then it will start the installation from there, instead of booting up your current OS first and trying to install from that.
More to the point, why do you even want Windows 2003 Server? No offense, but it seems to me that you don't really know your way around PCs that well, and installing a server operating system is going to need a lot of work if you want to use it as a normal desktop operating system. So unless you've got specific need for a server operating system, then I don't see why you'd want to install it.

I got it working, but now it says cannot put over windows xp, it says advance now, whats that mean? here is a screenshot!
[EDIT] I cropped this attachment because it was gettin' far too BIG in size (consider those ppl on dialup) and why didn't ya just save it as a .jpg as that would not only give a better pic but also a smaller file size? :rolleyes2
